    Dr cash $120,000

    Cr Notes payable $120,000

    Dr interest expense $2,400

    Dr notes payable $30,000

    Cr cash $32,400

    Explanation:

    The issuance of the notes payable of $120,000 means that White Corporation's cash inflow has increased by $120,000 while its corresponding loan obligation has also gone up by the same amount.

    On 31 December 2018, White Corporation would need to repay $30,000 principal plus interest of $2,400 ($120,000*2%). The interest payment is debited to interest expense while $30,000 repayment is debited to notes payable and cash is credited with the total of $32,400
